【題目】Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo“ Nice Ride”-- the name of the city’s bike-share program.

Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l, 200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business , or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.

The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.

Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise but switching from a car to a bike also cuts down the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car’s tail pipe.

Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes--is in Wuhan, China.

To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian-only passages called greenways.

【1】Which of the following can people do with the bikes?

A. Earn a living. B. Enjoy bikeways.

C. Compete in a race. D. Rent them out to others.

【2】What is Paragraph four mainly about?

A. Benefits of biking. B. Pollution caused by cars.

C. Methods to use the bikes. D. Measures to decrease pollution.

【3】Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?

A. China has better public bike systems.

B. It will take the place of taxi companies.

C. It attracts more people to choose biking.

D. The government lacks money to support it.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A. To seek advice for Nice Ride.

B. To compare Nice Ride with libraries.

C. To raise money for bike-share programs.

D. To introduce the bike system in public places.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【2】A

主旨大意。根據(jù)第四段提到Not only is biking good exercise，but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air不僅僅騎車可以鍛煉身體，減少洗車有害氣體的排放，有助于環(huán)保，故選A項(xiàng)。

【4】D

推理判斷題。第一段提到圖書館前有很多的自行車停放，這是城市自行車共享的項(xiàng)目。目的就是鼓勵(lì)人們環(huán)保出行，政府也加大的投入，故選D項(xiàng)。

Dear friends,

May I have you attention, please? I'm going to talk about something focusing in Protecting Wildlife. So far millions of species have died off or, have endangered mainly for two reasons. For one thing, man has been killing them for food or other commercial reasons. Take antelopes for example. Poachers hunt them for their fur, that can be made into luxurious shawls. For another, human civilization has been developing very fast that man has invaded and destroyed wild animals' natural habitats. Human activity have greatly threatened their existence. If all the wild animals disappear one day from the planet, humans would feel lonely. The world is beautiful for its diversity. Besides, some animals are extreme useful in the field of science, while others are especially adorable, unique, and keep us a good company. However, we should learn to share the earth with them. Thank you for your time.

【題目】Your next car could have two seats, three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio’s long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特約經(jīng)銷商).

Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable (不可靠的)cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said.

Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved (預(yù)訂)one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.

【1】Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?

(O=wheel, □=seat)

A. B.

C. D.

【2】Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio ________.

A. is sold at affordable prices

B. will be available in most stores

C. has a fixed temperature

D. does no harm to the environment

【3】The underlined words “move the needle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.

A. take a chance B. stand in the way

C. break into pieces D. make a difference

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A. The history of Elio Motors B. Cool and practical vehicle

C. Paul Elio: a kid with big dreams D. What car to choose: new or used?
